The imperial concubine came running,

"Your Majesty, several officials from the Ministry of Works have an important report and are waiting in the Yangxin Palace."

Xuan Ling ascended the imperial carriage,

"Send dinner to Consort Chen at Guanju Palace according to my imperial nourishing meal specifications."

"I've made note of this, Your Majesty, don't worry."

As soon as Sheng Xiyan returned home, she fell asleep. Ever since she became pregnant, she had been feeling very tired.

When I woke up, it was already midnight.

"Mom, are you awake?"

Jiangjiang threw down the picture book and pinched her arm with his little hands.

"Baby, what time is it?"

"It's very late. Father has sent over a lot of food."

Hua Xia comes in,

"My lady, drink some nectar water first to moisten your skin."

Sheng Xiyan took the green-glazed cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Meixiang brought out the coral low kang table and laid out the meal.

"Hurry up and eat, Madam. The young master has been waiting for you to wake up and have a meal together. How filial he is."

Sheng Xiyan picked up a piece of lamb shank and gave it to Jiang Jiang.

"Baby, don't wait for your mother next time. Eat first."

"No, I have to wait for mother. Aunt Zhang has given me some milk cake to fill my stomach."

He grabbed the sheep's trotter with his little hands and chewed it, and his little mouth was full of oil.

"Mother, you are so amazing. You saved another person."

A proud and innocent smile appeared on the little girl's face. Sheng Xiyan was glad that she had not let jealousy destroy her conscience as a doctor.

The mother and son were eating happily. Jiang Jiang, who had a keen eye for observation, asked in confusion:

"Mom, you always eat three of everything at a time now? Just now you ate three slices of braised abalone with scallions, three pieces of spare ribs, and even three slices of stuffed tofu?"

Sheng Xiyan glanced at Hua Xia, and the master and servant both smiled.

"Baby, mother likes the number three lately."

"Oh, I see. We also have three pets: a black cat, a Pekingese, and a Chow Chow... The rabbits are a pair. I'll ask my uncle to bring another one to the palace for me someday, to make a total of three."

Sheng Xiyan secretly touched her belly, wondering what kind of babies were inside, boys or girls, and how they were distributed?

One son and two daughters?

One daughter and two sons?

He ate a few more meals and put down his jade robe.

Meixiang brought out the freshly made corn tortillas.

"My lady, you have worked so hard these past two days, please use some more."

Sheng Xiyan Sifu is pregnant with three babies and cannot eat too much, otherwise there will not be enough space and one of them will be in danger.

As long as the combination of meat and vegetables is nutritious, it's fine. But she has a great appetite and doesn't feel nauseous at all.

The aroma of tortillas hit her face, and Sheng Xiyan swallowed.

"Just cut a little for me to taste."

He grabbed one and fed it to her mouth.

"Mother, Father said you've lost a lot of weight recently. You need to eat more. Come on, eat now. I watched you eat it all and become plump and white."

It smelled so good that Sheng Xiyan couldn't help but finish the tortilla in a few bites.

Tomorrow, tomorrow I must control my mouth.

After the wet nurse was taken away to rest.

Sheng Xiyan got up and moved around, took out a large wooden box, and then took out a pink silk handkerchief and a red heart knot.

Hua Xia and Mei Xiang brought in the bronze incense burner with flowers and birds.

Sheng Xiyan opened the box and found a thick portrait of an emperor with extraordinary beauty and grace. It no longer belonged to her, so she might as well burn it.

Hua Xia grabbed the box,

"Your Majesty, please don't burn it. You painted this with every stroke of your hand. The Emperor is so lifelike. It would be a shame to burn it."

Meixiang whispered, "Yes, Madam, burning the emperor's portrait is a serious sin."

Sheng Xiyan did not insist and burned the handkerchief.

There are many dots embroidered on this silk handkerchief. She said it was when she first entered the palace to record the number of times she met Xuan Ling. Now it is embroidered with many dots, and the handkerchief feels heavy.

Throw it into the charcoal stove and it will burn to ashes in an instant.

Xuan Ling bought a pair of red love knots when she left the palace and stayed in the Golden Tower. She was so happy at that time, but now she feels so mocked when she sees them.

Whoosh, it was thrown into the charcoal stove, making a crackling sound.

Burn all traces of love and let the past go.

Hua Xia patted her shoulders to comfort her.

"My lady, don't be sad."

Sheng Xiyan smiled with relief and said, "I'm not sad, I just feel a little regretful."

In the most difficult moment of her life, Xuan Ling saved her from danger like a god, so she was more attached to him than anyone else.

I thought this relationship would last forever.

Unexpectedly, the ending was: I stood there and watched you love someone else.

From now on, her goal is to raise her children well and serve the emperor without sharing her heart, everything is for survival in the palace.

For two consecutive days, the court was busy with affairs of state and Emperor Xuanwu did not enter the harem.

The entire palace was in order and peace.

In Yaohua Palace, Queen Duan visited Cui Nianmi in person.

"Long live the Queen."

"Cui Zhaoyi, don't get up, lie down quickly."

Queen Duan looked around the hall, and a palace maid brought a soft chair and she sat down.

"Cui Zhaoyi, I have brought you some Pearl Jade Cream. Apply it daily while you recover from your injuries. It will restore your skin to its original state."

Cui Nianmi said respectfully, "Thank you, Her Majesty, for the reward."

"You should rest and recover from your injuries so that you can serve the Emperor. The Emperor loves you very much, and I love you too."

Cui Nianmi nodded slightly. Emperor Xuanwu had made a careful plan and deceived everyone just to test one person's heart.

She had already prepared herself mentally.

After death, the emperor will bless the family.

She was lucky enough to survive, and was promoted after being in a coma for a year or so.

But he didn't expect that Sheng Xiyan would rescue him in a few days.

Cui Nianmi felt admiration for Sheng Xiyan.

Although you are a woman, you have the character of a gentleman.
